So now I don't get a vote?

But the mid-size states have ended up holding both the bigger and little states hostage. No campaign bothers to address the concerns of anything but "swing state" voters. Not that I want a barage of TV ads in California ... but just because California is, on the electoral college whole, a done deal for the Democrats, that's no reason (in my impartial opinion) to ignore the vast number of Republican voters in this huge, pluralistic state.
